Design và exterior
With the Zenbook Infinity, hãng asus tries to lớn get ahead of its competitors in a segment filled with beautiful & fast machines. For that, they changed the overall aspect from the previous Zenbooks, in order khổng lồ make a better first impression with this new entry.
As a result, glass covers the lid, and that’s no ordinary glass, but Gorilla Glass 3, which should make the surface scratch proof. On the other hand, smudges & fingerprints are part of the menu with this finishing, especially on the Navy blue version that we have here. These won’t show as easily on the trắng model.
Gaming temperatures
As for the noise, well, the two fans inside this unit will spin fast và fairly loud, once again, when pushing the laptop. My non-professional iPhone app measures about 44-45 db under load (running Cinebench 11.5) at 30 cm away from the laptop. When using it lightly though, they’ll turn completely OFF, which makes the UX301 ultra-silent.
All those being said, there are only a few things left khổng lồ talk about before drawing the line here. For instance, I should mention the good connectivity options, as the UX301 does support Wireless AC and Bluetooth 4.0 (Plus LAN, with the included adapter).
The hãng intel 7260 wireless module is a reliable performer, although the wireless range on this máy tính is only average và could have been better.
Besides that, you should know that there’s a webcam with dual-array microphones on this ultrabook, decent for quick hangouts and video calls.
And you do get a good sound system as well, as the two speakers carved on the sides of the máy tính deliver punchy và high-quality audio, but only if you take some time to lớn tweak the output with the included Audio Wizard application.
Battery life
Back lớn more important aspects, let’s take a few second & talk about the battery life you’ll be getting with this Zenbook. There’s a 6 Cell 50 Wh battery on this laptop and with average use, that includes browsing, editing documents, listening some music, watching some clips, with the screen at 50% and Wi-Fi ON, that’s enough to keep it running for about 6 khổng lồ 7 hours.
If you’ll use it lightly và dim the screen even more, you could easily get 8+ hours of life on a charge, but on the other hand, while running games, the UX301 will run out of juice much quicker (I’d reckon you’ll get up khổng lồ 90 minutes of gaming).

Wrap-up
OK, so wrapping up this review, there are for sure many things you will like about this ultrabook, lượt thích the sleek body, the awesome screen, the good keyboard & trackpad. However, you vị get most of these, slightly better or worse, on other good ultrabooks available these days, lượt thích the Acer Aspire S7-392, the Sony Vaio Pro, the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro or the Samsung ATIV Book 9 Plus.
On the Zenbook UX301 there’s the higher power hardware option, available on this top configuration. Is it worth paying around $2200 or over 2000 euros for it? Well, that’s up to you to lớn decide.
On the other hand, the cheapest asus UX301 starts at about 1300 euros over here, with a Full HD screen, a vi xử lý core i5 processor, 4 GB of RAM & the 128 GB SSD, which is not cheap, but is more or less on par with the prices Acer, Samsung, or the others are asking for their similar ultrabooks.
But the Sony Vaio Pro on the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro are cheaper with a similar configuration.
Those being said, if you’re after performances (photo or đoạn clip editing, programming), the UX301 with the chip core i7-4558U should definitely be on your short-list. However, if you’re looking at a cheaper ultrabook, the UX301 is just one of the good options out there.
Is it better than the others? Well, you’ll find the answer lớn that question in the many comparisons that will be posted here on the site in the next days and weeks, so make sure to kiểm tra them out in our Comparisons category.
